Delroy Williams@DWilliamsJam·
Earlier I was sworn in at King’s House as the State Minister in the Ministry of Local Government and Community Development (@LocalGovJa). I look forward to working alongside Minister McKenzie and the hard working team of Local Govt practitioners across Jamaica. I thank the Prime Minister The Most Hon. Dr @AndrewHolnessJM for his confidence in me and for the opportunity to serve as Minister of State. I must also congratulate my brother Minister Donovan Williams on his appointment as Minister of State in the Min. Of Labour and Social Security. @DWilliams_Ja

Golding led a strong resistance to the relocation of Weise-Road residents while I was Mayor for political reasons. They are among the most vulnerable to flooding in KSA.

The world as we knew has changed and Jamaica has to evolve with it. We cannot keep paying for climate disasters the same old way. Every stronger storm, every flooded community, every collapsed hillside leads to the same cycle: borrow more money, pay high interest, and spend years paying banks instead of properly rebuilding lives and communities. That approach is no longer fit for purpose. There is a smarter way and it is already working across the Caribbean and beyond. Let’s talk about it - This is not theory. It is global best practice. Jamaica this means using smarter financing to invest directly in resilience ✔️ Stabilising hillsides ✔️ Managing rivers and flood zones ✔️ Strengthening drainage and coastlines ✔️ Protecting vulnerable communities The question is not whether storms will come. The real question is whether we keep paying for every disaster the old way, or modernise our financial strategy so resilience, recovery and protection come first. Let’s think long term, sustainably and smartly and #buildbackbetta than before.

Yet another coordinated and barefaced LIE which PNP bloggers, including John Polack and Shelly Curran, are spreading today. They wake up on a daily basis and tell lies. Our Deputy Prime Minister/General Secretary is well. Absolutely no truth to this PNP propaganda.

Deputy PM Horace Chang back in the hospital after he suffered a stroke. We pray for his recovery although it's looking dicey.

US$70m more: Jamaica’s second layer in its disaster risk financing framework has triggered - the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility (CCRIF).

CCRIF SPC@ccrif_pr

CCRIF to make record payout to the Government of Jamaica totalling US$70.8 Million (~J$11.4 Billion), following the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa. This marks the largest single payout in CCRIF’s history and is a powerful demonstration of the organization’s parametric insurance model. This payout will be made within 14 days, consistent with CCRIF’s commitment to speed, transparency, and fiscal responsiveness. In announcing the payout, CCRIF CEO, Mr. Isaac Anthony, stated: “This payout to Jamaica is not just a financial transaction, it is a reaffirmation of CCRIF’s mission to stand with our members in their most difficult moments. On behalf of the CCRIF Board, Management, and Team, I extend our heartfelt condolences to the people of Jamaica. We are proud to support the Government’s swift response and recovery efforts, and we remain committed to helping build a more resilient and secure future for all.” In addition to this tropical cyclone payout, the Government of Jamaica is expected to receive a second payout under its excess rainfall policy, pending final model calculations. #ccrifspc #jamaica #caribbean #payout #hurricanemelissa #disasterriskfinancing #disasterfinancing #parametric #insurance

Our CAT Bond and CRIF are separate and add Multi-Layer protection. Separate instruments. The Andrew Holness Admin has piled LAYERS of Disaster Protection on Jamaica so it’s understandable that some persons may confuse the many sources of help and protection.
John Polack@JohnPolack4

The cat bond was first introduced in 2007 by the then PNP government, it was disconnected by Bruce Golding in 2009 saying it's a waste of money. It was reintroduced by Nigel Clarke in 2021. Some facts that must be told.

Andrew Holness@AndrewHolnessJM·
Today, I’m pleased to announce the launch of supportjamaica.gov.jm, the Government of Jamaica’s official platform to coordinate relief, mobilize support, and manage recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricane Melissa. The site allows users to donate securely, submit pledges, report emergencies, and locate nearby shelters. It is designed to serve Jamaicans at home and abroad who wish to assist with national recovery efforts. Please remember, if it doesn’t end with .gov.jm, it is not an official Government of Jamaica website. Visit: supportjamaica.gov.jm 🇯🇲

The Spark Programme is much more than a patching programme. Upon my recent visit to Inglewood Drive in Central Clarendon I observed extensive work being done by this administration to improve the delivery of services and the commuter experience within the parish. This included fire hydrant installations, drainage, water infrastructure upgrades, curb wall installation and more. There are 10 @asksparkjamaica roads slated to be undertaken across the constituency and I will ensure that all residents and stakeholders are updated. #CentralClarendon
